Tried mine yes'day at -7. Key in & start straight away, (without waiting for glowplug light), fired up after about a second & ticks over steadily......

I think that sometimes mine runs better on the "full fat" normal diesel than the special blends like BP ultimate.dogslife wrote:Tried mine yes'day at -7. Key in & start straight away, (without waiting for glowplug light), fired up after about a second & ticks over steadily......

In the Scandinavian countries they have a system where they plug the cars in to the electric to stop them freezing solid ; not sure how it works but its standard fitment on their cars I believe .

They have that in Canada too, quite strange to see parking lots with power sockets on every space 
Kenlow do something similar, it's a heater with a pump which circulates hot water round the engine. I did a lot of investigation about them a couple of years back, then promptly forgot all about it when I discovered I couldn't afford any of it

My son in Sweden has this on his car, he has an electric lead at home that plugs into a heater in his car through a socket in the front grill.Archangel wrote:In the Scandinavian countries they have a system where they plug the cars in to the electric to stop them freezing solid ; not sure how it works but its standard fitment on their cars I believe .
He also has a socket at work in his parking space to plug into.
BTW, I just went out in my Expert HDi it started in 2 turns of the engine, it proves the problem was down to the cold, whether it was waxing or not i'm not sure, but mine started straight away after 5 days not started.

Its when the car has got cold right through that its worst. Like a very cold Monday morning when it had been standing since Friday.
Its the slowed cranking that I really hate. Gets me worried.

I know what you mean, mine was just the same, power steering heavy etc.
